List of Broken Contracts

It's hard to read the bugs thread for broken contracts at a glance, so I'm posting this. I'll try to keep this list as updated as possible. The thread has since turned into a list of contracts you should avoid, and tips for completing them if you haven't.

Incompletable Objectives

~~Offence Weapon 2: Direct Hit Bonus Objective: Direct hit an airborne enemy.~~ Fixed.
Defence Weapon 2: Brass Beast Bonus Objective: Take 1000 damage in a single life using the Brass Beast.

Really Broken Objectives

~~Offence Weapon 2: Direct Hit Primary Objective: Get a direct hit.~~ Fixed.
~~Defence Weapon 1: Loose Cannon Bonus Objective: Double Donk.~~ Fixed.
Defence Weapon 2: Gunslinger Bonus Objective: Sentry kills. (not sure if this one's been fixed yet)
Doesn't work with Mini-Sentries.
~~Defence Class: Engineer Bonus Objective: Get 3 kills with a single sentry.~~ Fixed.
~~Defence Weapon 2: Wrangler Primary Objective: Sentry kills.~~ Fixed.

Weird/Buggy/Grindy/Badly Worded Objectives

Mercenary Park Bonus Objective: Capture or defend a Control Point.
Only works for point captures.
The Gas Passer Bonus Objective: Deal 500 afterburn damage in a single life.
Counts all non afterburn flamethrower damage with the exception of the Dragon's Fury projectile.
Support Weapon 1: Crusader's Crossbow Bonus Objective: Regenerate health.
Requires you to regenerate or collect 6000 health, which takes a very long time. Heavy lunch box items don't count. Quick-Fix Ubers speed up the process.
Offence Weapon 1: Black Box Primary Objective: Get kills with Black Box.
Doesn't work with reskins.
Defence Weapon 1: Fists of Steel Bonus Objective: Block damage.
Takes a very long time to achieve even when grinding with someone on the enemy team. It may calculate damage blocked differently, and I'm not sure if Dragon's Fury damage is counted. If you coordinate with a friend, a fully charged headshot does 270 to a Heavy with Fists of Steel equipped.
Support Weapon 2: Jarate Bonus Objective: Jarate assists.
Sydney Sleeper assists are inconsistent.
Thermal Thruster Bonus Objective: Extinguish Teammates.
Progress this objective by taking off next to a burning teammate. Doesn't work on friendly Pyros affected by Gas Passer afterburn. With the Thermal Thruster equip time, shorter afterburn duration and teams full of Pyros, its much easier to complete this with a Cow Mangler Soldier on your own team.
Pyro Bonus Objective: Kill with a reflected projectile.
Dragon's Fury and Loose Cannon reflects are not counted.
Medic Bonus Objective: Uber a player to assist them destroy a Sentry Gun
Also counts destroying dispensers and teleporters.
In the true spirit of the Dead Ringer changes, the Dead Ringer's absorb hp objective can be completed by jumping off of a cliff.

Other Notes

Defending an objective entails killing players capturing it, not blocking the capture, regardless of whether it said a player defended an objective in the killfeed.
Pushing the cart entails standing on the cart for ~5 seconds, not pushing it over a capture point.
Offence contracts with don't work on Payload Race or KOTH. Defence Contracts do, however.

Big ups for this, I know Valve are watching and listening and hopefully we can get something by Monday/Tuesday or sooner. Also good to know which ones to avoid until then (I love the DH)

I think you can still complete the direct hit contract as long as you keep getting minicrit kills

Not sure if anyone other than me mistunderstands this, but the contract bonus that makes you defend an objective 20 times only counts the times you killed someone on point, not when you block the capture by stepping on, even though it says "[player] defended [stage]".

Offence contracts don't count on Payload Race.

Apparently they aren't working on KOTH either. Only A/D + Payload.

Personally just finished it after several hours. Only worked with level one sentries for me, didn't even matter if it was within a couple of seconds. Maybe other people can confirm.

Use buff banner / kritz cow mangler for the DH contract. You can currently get 2 stars, one for 100cp and one for minicrit kills as soldier. All the points count as minicrit kills. Just did this and was very easy with 2/3 soldiers.

The fists of steel damage taken one: get a friend on the other team through the being asked to swap thing. Fully charged headshots do 270 to FoS POOTIS so POOTIS stand near spawn and just run between a sightline and the cabinet. Good on banana bay since the balcony is very close to spawn

The Thermal Thruster's "Extinguish teammates" goal. You need to extinguish 30 burning teammates with the damn jetpack, the only way to do this is by taking off next to a teammate. (The jetpack emits an airblast as you take off, this is also how you blast enemies if you didn't know, despite what the description says)

However the dragons fury's afterburn is so short that it expires before you can even pull the jetpack out, and as for the other flamethrowers, well your entire team is pyro, they won't take afterburn from the others and if they do another pyro will come and airblast it off. This means you've got one insane grind on your hands.

It's worth bringing a flammable friend with you and either sitting in spawn while they cow mangle themselves, or if you wanna stay legit, follow them around the map until they burst into flames.

Also the Hot Hand, getting the triple kill with this thing can be difficult, however it turns out that dead ringers count as kills, so if anyone is struggling with that, look for a spy that's testing the new nerf.

I'm also fairly certain you don't get points for extinguishing pyros lit by the Gas Passer. I've got the +1 bonus by extinguishing pyros a few times without getting anything added to my contract.

Wrangler contract is broken, "get kills with sentries" is the primary objective but most of the time it doesn't count. Also getting 5 kills with one sentry doesn't give you extra points even though it says it does.

Like the other contracts, does the sentry have to be level one? And for the 5 kills with one sentry, do you mean that it doesn't count at all, or you just don't get awarded Contract Points?

If you reflect a Dragon's Fury projectile and kill someone with it, it won't count for the contract (which I believe is a bonus on the main contract).
